The top moments from Abby Steiner’s 2022 season
Starting off the season with a record
Abby Steiner ended her 2021 season with an achilles injury, but returned in 2022 with a bang. Steiner’s first meet after the injury was the Louisville Cardinal Classic to kickoff the indoor season. Steiner competed in only one individual event, the 300 meters. Steiner ran 1.5 laps in 35.80 seconds, a collegiate record. It would be an impressive feat for anyone, but it even more impressive for Steiner to run in her return to action.
